The photo is about a electrician who is trying to fix wires for delivering electricity in different houses.
The Hamar (or Hamer or Hammer) is a tribe with a total population of about over 35,000, which lives in Hamer Bena woreda, a fertile part of the Omo River valley, in the Debub Omo Zone of the Southern Nations, Nationalities, and Peoples Region (SNNPR). They are largely pastoralists, so their culture places a high value on cattle, the menaning of their life. There are at least 27 words for the subtle variations of colours and textures of a cattle! And each man has three names: a human, a goat and a cow name.
Honey collection is their major activity.They are as well semi nomadic and migrate every few months to find pastures for their goats and cattle. They have a special relationship with Bana-Bashada group than the others as they share a common language and culture.
Hamer society consists of a complex system of age groups. To pass from one age group to another involves complicated rituals. The bull-jumping is the most significant ceremony in the social life of the Hamer, the final test before passing into adulthood and in order to get married. The teen must jump naked over a number of bulls without falling. That is why we can mention it as cow jumping or bull leaping. If he is able to complete this task, he will become a man and be able to marry a woman.
The Hamar are very preoccupied with their beauty. They have at times spectacular haidresses.
Men use a wooden head rest which prevents the hair from touching the ground. It is used as head rest to protect the clay wig that some do on the top of the head, but it is also useful as a seat.
Women know many ways to do their hair. The most famous hair style is when their hair is in short tufts rolled in ochre and fat or in long twisted strands. These coppery coloured strands are called "goscha", it's a sign of health and welfare.
They also wear bead necklaces, iron bracelets around their arms, and decorate their breast with lots of cowry shells, like a natural bra.
Around married women's necks, you can see "esente": torques made of iron wrapped in leather. These are engagement presents; they are worn for life and indicate their husband's wealth. One of the necklaces catch more especially the attention: it is called the "bignere". It has a phallic-shape end. This jewelry can only be worn by a man's first wife.
Her statut is the higher one in Hamer society. The Hamar women who are not first wife have a really hard life and they are more slaves than wives...
The young unmarried girls, for their part, wear a kind of oval shape plate, in metal. It is used like a sunshield, but it tends to be rare in the tribe. Some of them have fund their future husband, but have to wait in their house until the so-called prentender can provide all the money for the ceremony: he has to pay for all the cows the bride-to-be's family asks for. These girls are called "Uta" and have to wait weeks, entirely covered with red clay... And no right to take baths or showers . They cannot go out of the house. Friends bring her food.
A cruel tradition still has currency for some Hamar: the babies who have the upper teeth first coming out, are abandonned in the bush. This tradition tends to disapear but NGO Omochild still save abandonned new borns in Jinka. Abandonments are all the more frequent than some Hamar believe that a child born out of formal marriages has "mingi", as to say something abnormal and unclean. For them, it is the expression of the devil, which may cause disasters such as epidemics or drought in the village. So, illegitimate children are abandoned. This kind of beliefs can also be observed in other Ethiopan tribes.
The weekly markets in Turmi and Dimeka are meeting points where tourist observation and photography can be satisfy against money.

Venedig. Am schönsten ist es dann, wenn die Touristenströme gegen Abend wieder abreisen, oder am frühen Morgen, oder aber abseits von den Hauptrouten. Es zeigen sich wundervolle Motive, welche dich entspannt anlachen ;-)
Venice. It is most beautiful when the streams of tourists leave in the evening, or in the early morning, or away from the main routes. Wonderful motifs are shown, which laugh at you relaxed ;-)
South Molle Island used to be a thriving tourist resort with beautiful waterfront villa and all the mod cons anyone could want. Now the island resort has been turned into a staging place (overnight stays) for the backpacker tourist trade on the way out to the reef. Thank goodness the rest of the island is still a national park, free for all to use.
In the early 1920’s, this group of islands was purchased by Henry G. Lamond, then comprising South Molle, North Molle, West Molle, Planton and Denman, Mid Molle and Goat Island.
Mr Lamond, who had spent his entire life in Far West Queensland, took up occupancy on South Molle on the 19 April 1927 with his family - wife, Eileen and children Hal, Amy and Bill. The move to the islands from Far Western Queensland was accepted by the young Lamonds as an adventurous challenge. Having left the lifestyle of property owners and managers in the West in the 1920s, adapting to a complete change of daily living and surroundings was not easy for Mr and Mrs Lamond.
During the early 1930s he sold West Molle to Major Paddy Lee Murray and North Molle to a Mr Johnson from Western Queensland. On the 19 April 1937, he sold the balance of the Molle Group to the Bauer Family who later established South Molle as a tourist resort.
Mrs Lamond passed away in 1968 in her 82nd year and Mr Lamond passed away the following year in his 85th year, in Brisbane. Of the children - Hal was shot down over Sumartra in 1942 and was reported lost, presumed dead, while serving with the RAAF - Mrs Amy Edgell and Mr Bill Lamond reside in Brisbane.
In those early days the mail was delivered to South Molle once a fortnight by a Mr Otto Altman in a 27-foot boat called “Senix”. Mr Altman owned a banana plantation on Long Island. There was no direct communication with the mainland; however, Mr Lamond arranged several methods by which contact could be made.
The lighting of fire on “The Saddle” on the southern part of South Molle was arranged to attract immediate help in the event of an emergency. Fortunately this method of communication was never used. Later, when Mr Lamond purchased an unreliable and somewhat temperamental wireless set he arranged with a Mr Dahl of Radio 4AY, Ayr, to be his telegraph station. At a set time each morning and evening, telegrams for him would be broadcast, although very public, it was a fast and effective method of communication.
During the earlier stage of island life there was no wireless, no gramophones and it was only during the latter period on the island that a portable wind-up HMV gramophone was acquired. That instrument with some dozen records of the music of the time scarcely stopped during the leisure hours of the family.
There was no electricity on the island and the major household light was a Colman lamp supplemented with 2 or 3 kerosene lanterns.
There was no form of refrigeration and perishables were kept cool in a charcoal cooler which comprised a packing case insulated on all sides with charcoal which was at all times kept moist. This proved primitive but most effective.
Groceries were ordered from Queensland Pastoral Supplies in Brisbane and delivered to the island once a month by John Burke Coastal Ships. Vegetables and tropical fruit were in abundance and came exclusively from the island garden expertly and fondly planted and cared for by Mrs Lamond.
In the 1920s and early 1930s, such places as the now highly developed Shute Harbour were just a wilderness of tropical jungle probably best known for the plant Stinging Nettle, which grew abundantly.
The Lamond family lived on South Molle from 1927 to 1937. During this time, Mr Lamond earned a living as an author of world wide reputation at the same time supplementing the family income from the wool clip of cross bred sheep that he ran on the islands.
The pen of Henry G Lamond, through his articles published all over the world in the early 1930s, did much to make the Whitsunday Passage known worldwide and undoubtedly was a major contributing factor to the start of the tourist industry in this part of Queensland.
Henry G Lamond, during the time he lived on South Molle and the ensuing years in Brisbane, wrote many books, which were published in Australia, the U.K., Europe and America. His articles likewise were published in magazines in many parts of the world. His last book “The Etiquette of Battle” was published in his eighty-first year.
Her Majesty the Queen honoured him for his contribution to Australian literature.
The original manuscripts of Mr Lamond’s works are documented and held by the Oxley Library, Brisbane.
One of the first smaller tourist ships, the ‘Woy Woy’ chartered by a Mr Pollock, cruised the passage in the early 30s. About the same time, owners of smaller vessels were starting to take an interest in the tourist potential of the area and Easter and Christmas Holidays attracted a number of vessels of varying sizes from such areas as Bowen and Mackay.
ODC - BLACK AND WHITE or SEPIA is the topic for Thursday 2nd Aug
Happy Cliché Saturday - Jetty to No Where or is it?
This is an attempt to use the leading line technique to add drama and direct the viewer’s eyes through the image. The trap is there is no visual reward for the viewer when they get to the end of the jetty. Another close relation are white picket fences and also gates, porticos, doorways, arched entrances used as framing or leading lines in an image. Leading lines are great way to direct the viewer’s attention in photographic composition, but as with all techniques of photographic composition indiscriminate usage creates a cliché.
Hmm not the best lifestyle choice or career move this adult emu made when it decided to walk ALONG the road not at least get off it fast. It took some shooing after both vehicles stopped to convince it to give up the road for the bush. They can sprint up to 50kps (31mph) but this one was in no such hurry. Sad, specially if it repeats this behaviour! Seen in the Adelaide Hills area of South Australia.

A central element of lifestyle management is the skill to creatively balance achievement and work success with leisure activities, family life and social involvements.
Another critical aspect is the ability to feel comfortable at work and at home and to enjoy the experience of whatever is being done at that moment.
But nowadays, most of us are obsessed with getting results or completing one’s task. When task completion becomes more important than enjoying and understanding the work or activity one is doing at the given moment, a sure victim of “hurry sickness” is born.
The resultant constant sense of urgency is the trap of hurry sickness. One rushes to “get things done” to the point where it becomes an obsession.
